"Still lie the sheltering snows, undimmed and white;
And reigns the winter's pregnant silence still;
No sign of spring, save that the catkins fill,
And willow stems grow daily red and bright.
These are days when ancients held a rite
Of expiation for the old year's ill,
And prayer to purify the new year's will."
Helen Hunt Jackson, A Calendar of Sonnet's: February

Governments should pay a no-strings-attached cheque to each citizen

What do you think of this? Instead of worrying about managing myriad social welfare and unemployment payment schemes, the government should just give everyone money. No conditions. No questions. Everyone, rich or poor, employed or out of work would get the same amount of money. This would provide a path toward a new way of living: If people no longer had to worry about making ends meet, they could pursue the lives they want to live.

After all, what do you really want to do with your life? Are you doing what you really want to do? Whatever the answers, Staub suggests basic income is the means to achieve those goals.

It's quite a long article, but very interesting. Worth a read and what do you think? Do you think it would work?

@mheredge you have shared a nice article. @mheredge I think the same way if government provide unemployment allowance then people would not bother to do any kind of job specially they would be very reluctant to do low paid job. They would think what Is the difference if we receive unemployment allowance or doing low paid job. Consequently they would like to remain jobless.
